Meet my friend Tumbles, aptly named as he consistently tumbles off the dashboard whenever we go through a traffic circle.

*waves* Helloooooo Tumbles!!!

We once owned a street cat named Mobile because he was always moving around. Our intentions wasn't to keep him when we found him, but he just wandered into our backyard when my sister and I discovered him. It started raining and since he was an alley cat we decided to take him under cover for the night. Now when my mum gave him the name Mobile we were instantly in love with the cat and adopted him.
I was only in third grade when he died and the next morning after I found out, I couldn't concentrate and lost my race. Well, more than lost. I had a good jump start but I lost my balance and fell. Had a nasty bruise and I couldn't keep crying. My grandmother, who came to see my race, took me and my sister to a local pet shop and told us to get ourselves each a kitten.
It was the best present ever and it wasn't even Christmas both cats at a fully grown age but walked away when we moved into a new house. We never saw them ever again. I just hope they are now safe in kitty heaven... _________________We fight, we earn, we never learn. And through it all, the hero falls...

That is quite sad. That they walked away, I mean.

I have 3 cats but they don't go outside because we have a first floor (second floor to Americans) apartment.

If they did I think I'd constantly worry about them anyway._________________On a clear day they'll see us from the beaches.

I once invented (I think) a word when I was really disoriented and had no idea what was going on around me. I wanted to say "confused" and "puzzled" at the same time and ended up with saying: "I'm very confuzzled right now."
Everyone looked at me like I might be crazy. Well at least it's not as crazy as my friend who keeps saying "propopotomous" (whatever that is) for no reason whatsoever. _________________We fight, we earn, we never learn. And through it all, the hero falls...

It just occurred to me that with the zombie apocalypse dentists/dental hygene will go right out the window but we'll be scavanging all these foods with high sugar content. Which means our teeth will go back to the poor condition they were in at 10,000 B.C. or be even worse. *shudders at memories of ancient, caveity rotted teeth studied in my human skeletal biology class*_________________

^ I imagine that the death toll, for things that we can generally treat these days like flu, broken limbs, food poisoning, appendix burst,.... would become much higher.

It may not be initially as bad as I'm sure a lot of people would pack toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss and mouthwash is survival kits, but then again those only last so long... _________________Darth Vegas the unwise...

Well, as antibiotics have expiration dates, more probably wouldn't be manufactured, so I'd say large numbers would be dying from infection.

We're so used to antibiotics in our world, I'm sure a lot of people don't realize how recently they were introduced. We basically had no antibiotics until after WWII._________________Roqoo Depot co-founder.

Well I wouldn't die from antibiotic shortage, I assure you. I never needed them "much", nor will their lack of it be my undoing. I've been through shattered, broaken, fractured, whatever bones. I live, kick ass. All I need is a nice car and nice weapons.
